Yet another seed grown one with it's first bloom:-)
First bloom on Passiflora platyloba
Another view...
That is just gorgeous - I wish I had one of ALL of the passifloras!
Do you have this vine in a pot, too? What soil mix do you use in your pots?

I was using scott's for ahwile, but the bags I bought this year seemed to be really heavy and stayed far too wet, so I switched to miracle gro potting mix, which I like a lot better, just for the sake of the actual soil quality, not for the built in fertilizer.
I also add greensand, volcanite (both gardenville products) and humate (a dusty granular stuff, also comes in liquid form) to the mix before I plant, and I also topdress all of my pots at least twice a year with those three things as well. I'll also frequently experiment if I see some product that sounds interesting.
I honestly have never done a test of one with that stuff and one without so I can see if it actually makes a difference, but I tend to think that it does lol.
Well, the soil is easy enough but the additives will be a treasure hunt. I have a couple of things to try. I am trading for a platyloba right now. I have a bag of Scotts with phosphate added and it is too heavy a mix for lots of stuff. I may try Jungle Grow. I assume your platy is in full sun.

Double blooms this morning:-)
